It's pre-drilled holes and small screws, Phillips is perfectly fine.

Most batteries are currently held in with some sticky glue, so I'm sure 4 random off the shelf screws would be sufficient. We're not mounting plasma screen TVs to plasterboard here.

As someone who works with small electronics, Phillips is NOT perfectly fine at small sizes. Below a PH1, the torque required to unscrew a long thread and the torque required to cam-out and strip the head get very close together.
